Chapter 171 Returning Home

After helping Captain Quick hire a temporary navigator from the Adventurer's Guild, Ladi said goodbye to the crew of the Southern the next day and set off for her hometown alone.

In order to save time, she rented a fast horse. After a day and night of trekking, she arrived at her hometown, the Independent Messiah.

It was already 8 o'clock in the morning when she entered the city. Although she had not rested for a day and a night, she was tired when she saw those familiar buildings and familiar streets.

However, there was something that made her alert, that is, the wanted poster found on the roadside, which clearly indicated the identity of the wanted person - wizard. In theory, only the local lord has the power to issue a wanted poster. Now that this has appeared on the street, it means that the upper class here has either been in collusion with the church or has reached some kind of compromise with the church.

She tried her best to make herself look like an ordinary pedestrian, leading the horse straight to her home.

After walking for nearly twenty minutes, she came to the corner of an intersection, and a restaurant called "Feilongting" appeared in front of her.

Ladi took a few deep breaths to calm down her excitement, then pushed the door open and walked in.

It was quite lively inside, with many customers sitting there. It seemed that business was as good as before.

But she didn't find the person she was looking for. There was only a waitress she didn't know behind the counter, who seemed to be calculating the accounts.

Did they hire a new waiter? Yes, after all, the previous waitress had expressed her intention to resign before she left home, and it had been several months.

Ladi slowly came to the front of the counter.

"Excuse me, is the boss lady here?"

Although she was still wearing men's clothes at this time, she took off the mustache used for disguise and no longer deliberately imitated the male voice.

The waitress looked up and saw a pretty girl standing in front of the counter. Her green hair and delicate face always made people feel that they had seen her somewhere before.

"Are you looking for the boss lady Xiela?"

Looking at the slightly cute waitress, Ladi smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.

"I'm looking for her, but I'm not a customer, but her daughter."

"Ah!"

The waitress was a little panicked, and she hurried out and bowed to Ladi.

"It turns out to be Miss Ladi, yes... I'm sorry, I was so rude just now!"

Ladi waved her hand and said with a smile: "What's rude, and you haven't seen me before. Just call me sister."

"Well, Miss Ladi... Sister Ladi."

"Is my mother out?"

"No, the boss lady is tidying up things in the backyard."

"Thank you, then you go ahead, I'll go find her in the back."

"Yeah!"

Ladi turned around and walked to the back, quickly walked through a corridor to the back door.

She immediately found the figure that she had been missing for a long time.

In the courtyard, a woman with the same hair color as Ladi was carrying a box and walking towards the door.

Naturally, the other party also saw her at the first time.

"Oh my, the wild girl finally came back."

"Mom..."

With tears in her eyes, Ladi immediately walked quickly towards her mother.

The woman also put down the box, opened her arms, and the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly.

Although Ladi often traveled far away when she was an adventurer before, she was always with her companions in the adventure group. This was the first time she lived alone in an unfamiliar place for several months.

For people living in the Horn Bay, the northwest bay of the Kingdom of Aldo is basically equivalent to the end of the world. How can Sheila, as a mother, not worry about this, especially in this period when the church's oppression of wizards is becoming increasingly severe.

"If you hadn't sent a letter back every month, I would have gone to find you."

Thanks to the caravan of the Foster family, Ladi was able to entrust the letters to them to be sent to the Horn Bay, and then to the mother Sheila in Messiah.

There are two main reasons why the Foster Caravan was willing to help: one is that she is an advisor to Count Graman, and the other is that she was once a member of the Lichman Adventure Group, and the second young master of the Foster family has a good relationship with the Lichman Adventure Group.

The mother and daughter came to Ladi's bedroom and closed the door to talk in private.

Sheila asked anxiously: "How did you get back this time?"

"I took the ship of Alda and arrived at the Horn Bay by sea, landed at Asta, and then went straight home."

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

"Sea route?"

Xela was very confused. If she remembered correctly, it should be more than 2,000 nautical miles from the northwest bay of Aldo to the corner bay. Such a long distance...

"Mom, you have never seen it. The shipyard of the lord has built a ship that completely relies on wind power to sail. It does not even need a rower. As long as the huge sail on the mast is opened, it can run very fast. Especially in this season with abundant north wind, it can run at a speed of 8 to 10 knots almost every day while going south."

Xela showed an incredible expression.

"This... is really unbelievable."

When she was young, she also had some experience at sea, so she naturally knew what a speed of 8 to 10 knots meant. Of course, a rowing boat can also reach this speed, but that is a short-term speed achieved by the explosive power of the rowers. It is almost impossible to run like this for a whole day.

As for the Lord mentioned by her daughter, Sheila knew that she was not talking about the Lord of Messiah, but the young Earl in the Northwest Bay, who was mentioned in her daughter's letter.

According to the description in the letter, the Lord seemed to be an inventor who invented many incredible things. Although it was not explicitly stated, the daughter's words revealed a sense of admiration.

Perhaps the other party asked for confidentiality, and the letter did not specify the Earl's invention, but it seemed that the ship her daughter took this time was one of them.

"Didn't you encounter any danger along the way?"

"No, it was smooth along the way, and we didn't encounter extreme weather or pirates."

"Are you doing well there?"

Sheila asked the question she wanted to ask the most. Although her daughter said in the previous letter that everything was fine, and now she has returned safely, she still needs to hear Ladi say it in person before she can let go of the stone in her heart.

"I live very well there. Every day is very fulfilling. Earl Graman and other colleagues treat me very well. Please rest assured."

"Alas! It is said that the northwest territory of the Kingdom of Aldo is a barbaric land..."

"Mom~ You can't jump to conclusions without seeing it with your own eyes. It is a little backward compared to Horn Bay... and other places, but it can't be said to be a barbaric land. Moreover, Earl Graman is working hard to change the status quo in the territory. This time, he sent a ship to Horn Bay to explore the way for future maritime trade."

Thanks to "Zartoo" for the reward.
